Anthropos

Witness the creation of a new inter-dimensional being. Watch its origin, adaptation and decline. Get aquainted with its way of life and its controversies. Could this entity be related to you? It's a story for those who like to have their brain stimulated... More

It's a story that'll make you think. In addition, as you read it, your subconscious mind will be entertained with the subliminal illustrations that your conscious mind probably won't understand. Or their meaning may dawn on you in a forthcoming dream...

Go along with our protagonist through the multiple energy environments that he must cross, before becoming the only entity with free will in a fully automated world. See what hinders and what helps his existence.

Please refrain from reading the story if you have psychotic tendencies, glaucoma or claustrophobia, or if you present symptoms of schizophrenia. ;-)

I'm sort of a three-way hybrid. My family upbringing was definitely European (Belgian), my early teen-age years were enjoyably influenced by the American way of life (Glendale, California), at the beginning of the Rock 'n Roll era (anybody remember?), and the rest of my life exposed me to the fast-paced Latin American culture (Venezuela and the Caribbean). This gave me the order and discipline of a European, the modern vision and progressive imagination of an American, and the animated soul of a Latino.

By trade, I'm a Computer Systems Engineer, who specialized in setting up systems for large, high-rise hotels in Latin America.

For the past 25+ years, after investigating many fields and debunking a lot of information, I've been designing a system that I named ASTRONICA (very little in common with classic Astrology). In short, it's a technique that anyone can use to (1) know their inborn attributes, qualities and skills, and (2) to determine the ongoing conditions (exocauses) that inevitably influence us and our environment, at any given moment or place. You can test the efficiency of Astronica for yourself, by visiting the Astronica website (www.astronica.org, in Spanish and English - up since 1997). Try out any of the free and user-friendly online apps that you'll find there—they're all based on astronical algorithms. You can go there either with a desk PC or a laptop. But if you're mostly on the go, feel free to use a smartphone or a tablet. No registration, no cost, no hype.

After retiring from the Hotel/Computer business, and after having put together the Astronica system, I began to write in two different fields: fiction and non-fiction. In the non-fiction section, I've written several books about Astronica (e.g., The Astronica Handbook, The Cyclegram, Dynamy and Polarity, Code Terra, The Cosmic Tree and The Hidden Circle).

My writings in the fiction section usually include characters who live in the imperceptible "threshold area" that's between our every-day reality and the rest of the Multiverse (e.g., Eemo, The Keepian and an ultra-short story, Nothing Speaks). I like to call this genre MetaFiction: the Reality that lies beyond reality.

Currently, I still live in Caracas, Venezuela and every day work on the Internet, to expand and further hone the Astronical resources. Now and then, when my Muse elbows me, I take another shot at story writing, so feel free to look me up.

I have read the book, but still i don't know where it is all about. I am interested in the field of artificial intelligence, i understood the idea of the higher-order dimensions, but i kept woundering where the story would begin...
It feels like it is an extrordinary stretched introduction to a larger story (if this is the case, it isn't clear) and the abstract descriptions of the world feel like they are not meant to be understood
I do like the way the caracter devolves and starts to see the world differently.

If you like to lose yourself in a complicated story, to follow a character as it finds its way through different forms, read it. If you are searching an actual roman, you may better look further.
